Gleee
1. The adaptor for my laptop came (after three weeks and several shipping mixups) so I can finally finish my overdue dw_santa fic/vid.
2. Half day at work tomorrow...
2a. ...because I'm seeing my professor who would have been my PhD advisor this year if I hadn't been turned down for funding. Going to ask him if he thinks I should reapply, as he's offering a PhD on the exact subject I did my Masters project on.
3. I have lots of Eighth Doctor books...
3b. ...and have discovered that it is book-canon that Eight is (at least) bi and Fitz wants to sleep with him.


' "You were curious about [the Doctor]'s own desires."
"Of course I was."
"But you have never seen or heard him articulate anything of the sort."
"Sometimes... odd glimpses. The way he looks at certain people. Women and men. But he never acts on anything. There's something about him that makes you think he's beyond sex."
The voice of the creatures chuckled inside her head, reverberating like a seashell. "Is anyone beyond gender and sex, Samantha Jones?" '
- The Scarlet Empress, Paul Magrs, page 147

'[Fitz] couldn't imagine never seeing the Doctor again. There was so much they hadn't said and done, and since Sam left...
He'd never said goodbye to her, either.
If he left the Doctor now... And who was to say he hadn't already? He felt a nasty pang, somewhere in his gut, and suddenly he could see the Doctor's face before him and he remembered how he had laughed when Sam had told the story of her erstwhile infatuation with the Time Lord.
But Fitz could see how it might work. All that power and intelligence, that charming intensity... even if he was raving mad.
Fitz swallowed hard. He was the one who was raving mad. He was in the midst of the most ridiculous danger, horse-riding down a mountainside, probably about to die, and in the final few minutes of his life, what was passing through his mind? Not a consideration of the greatest, most fulfilling moments in his life - but a consideration of his chances of getting laid by Iris... and even of getting laid by the Doctor. What was it about Time Lords? What had they done to his poor old head?'
- The Blue Angel, Paul Magrs & Jeremy Hoad, pg 210


The second of those quotes is from Paul Magrs The Blue Angel, also known as "the one with the batshit AU where the Doctor's the schizophrenic son of an Eastern-European mermaid". My fandom publishes its crackfic.

Also: dw_britglish. Like hp_britglish. Only for Doctor Who.
